Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 1137: Infinite Celestial King (Wu Ya) number 1116 is a female_1

The next moment, the Infinite Celestial King, Chu Qin, and Chu Xin had vanished from their original spot and arrived in the palace where they had first encountered the Infinite Celestial King.

"Fellow Chu Qin, you should know that it is impossible to use Divine Sense on Celestial Emperor Mountain, and moreover, no power can shatter the mountain!" the Infinite Celestial King said with a faint smile.

"Indeed, I am quite puzzled by this," Chu Qin nodded in agreement.

"Because, it’s quite simple. Buried beneath the Celestial Emperor Mountain lies an ancient artifact—the Primordial Tree!" replied the Infinite Celestial King.

"The Primordial Tree?" Chu Qin’s eyebrows slightly raised.

"Exactly, the Primordial Tree, which is the supreme sacred tree of the Nine Heavens," the Infinite Celestial King nodded, "Because of its existence, the Immortal Kings who contemplate on the Immortal Emperor’s Way on the Celestial Emperor Mountain, can quickly comprehend it and become Immortal Emperors!"

"Such a divine tree exists?" Chu Qin was slightly astonished.

"Yes, master! The Primordial Tree is a naturally occurring immortal tree. Comprehending the Dao beneath the Primordial Tree grants one extraordinary enlightenment," spoke the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon at that moment.

"Even you know about this tree; it seems it’s no trivial matter!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Fellow Chu Qin, what did you say?" The Infinite Celestial King’s eyebrows perked up.

"Nothing much. So, the reason Celestial Emperor Mountain is considered the premier sacred mountain of the Nine Heavens, coveted by the Immortal Emperors, is because of the existence of the Primordial Tree?" Chu Qin inquired.

"Correct," nodded the Infinite Celestial King, "Immortal Emperors also wish to advance further, and that’s why they come to the Celestial Emperor Mountain."

"Then, what secrets lie beyond becoming an emperor?" continued Chu Qin.

"After becoming an Immortal Emperor, imparting the Dao beneath the Primordial Tree allows an Immortal Emperor to possess even greater enlightenment!" replied the Infinite Celestial King, "They can also entrust their own Dao and laws to all things in the Celestial Emperor Mountain, leaving their legacy for posterity."

"So that’s how it is!" Chu Qin nodded, "It seems the Celestial Emperor Mountain truly leads to the path of becoming an emperor."

"It does, but the Primordial Tree only provides enlightenment. The Qi of Destiny and the strength necessary to cross the Heavenly Tribulation and to become an Immortal Emperor must still be acquired on one’s own. Many have fallen on this path!" the Infinite Celestial King nodded, "However, because of the secrets of the Celestial Emperor Mountain, there was a time when the Nine Heavens had too many Immortal Emperors, causing chaos in the Heavenly Dao. To avoid the collapse of worldly order, the Heavenly Dao planted Order Chains, what is known as the Curse, within the bodies of the people, leading to the decline of the Nine Heavens. Later, the Chiyan Immortal Sect and other top Dao Lineages, in an effort to control the Nine Heavens, joined forces to seal off the Celestial Emperor Mountain, obstructing the pathways to becoming emperors and kings!"

"Then, Fellow Wu Ya, being the master of the Celestial Emperor Mountain, why aren’t you an Immortal Emperor? With your level of Cultivation, you probably wouldn’t have difficulty transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, right?" Chu Qin said with a light smile.

"King Chu Qin, in fact, the Empress is already an Immortal Emperor!" interjected King Chu Xin at that moment.

"What? The actual Empress?" Chu Qin was slightly startled.

"Since Chu Xin has spoken, I see no need to hide it anymore." The Infinite Celestial King then removed her mask.

In an instant, Chu Qin was faced with a flawless, peerlessly beautiful countenance. Brows like willow leaves, a slightly upturned aquiline nose, cherry-red lips, and cheeks smooth as an egg, came together to form a visage of unmatched beauty. A single tear mole under the eye like the final masterstroke made the Endless Empress appear all the more captivating.

Meanwhile, the figure of the Endless Empress also changed, from the originally sparse and common male form to one with curves in all the right places, a body full and exquisite in its perfect shape. Especially the perky posterior, which seemed to rival that of Poseissi.

"Endless... Empress?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow and said, "But, why does she still carry the aura of an Immortal King?"

"King Chu Qin, our Empress gave up her position as Immortal Emperor of her own accord to make the Nine Heavens more prosperous and save it from the brink of extinction, thereby falling back to the realm of an Immortal King. Otherwise, the Nine Heavens of today would hardly see even True Immortals exist!" explained Chu Xin Immortal King.

"So that’s how it is; no wonder you are the master of Celestial Emperor Mountain!" Chu Qin, deep in thought, nodded. No wonder the System referred to Chu Xin as Immortal Emperor’s Handmaiden; it turns out that Cece was originally a female Immortal Emperor!

"Fellow Chu Qin, there’s no need to listen to Chu Xin’s nonsense," the Endless Empress said with a smile, "Where would I find such ambition? In reality, after being afflicted by the Curse, to become an Immortal Emperor is to invite myriad karmic consequences. I surrendered my imperial position to preserve my life, to barely scrape by. Otherwise, like all the other Immortal Emperors, I would have long since turned to dust and bones."

"The karmic consequences of an Immortal Emperor?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly, to become an Immortal Emperor means to completely transcend and be qualified to oppose the Heavenly Dao. In other words, by becoming an Immortal Emperor, one can disregard the Heavenly Dao and create a realm of their own. Within the domain ruled by an Immortal Emperor, the Heavenly Dao dares not intervene," the Endless Empress replied. "Fellow Chu Qin, think about it, would the Heavenly Dao tolerate such an existence?"

"Hmm. Much like the princes of the mortal realms," Chu Qin nodded.

"Exactly as Fellow Chu Qin has said, a prince who commands his own forces is always a significant threat to the emperor," the Endless Empress nodded in agreement.

"Wait, if an Immortal Emperor can oppose the Heavenly Dao, then why would they be bound by its chains?" Chu Qin asked.

The Endless Empress shook her head, "This is a mystery that I have been unable to unravel all along. An Immortal Emperor isn’t affected by the Heavenly Dao, yet they can be bound by its chains."

"Endless Empress, have you ever heard of the Ancient Immortal Clan?" Chu Qin continued to ask.

"The Ancient Immortal Clan is not bound by the chains of the Heavenly Dao!" The Endless Empress nodded. "It seems, Fellow, you have also been researching the Curse of the Nine Heavens like me!"

"Yes! Since Fellow Cece is so open, I will not conceal anything from you either. I have obtained some ancient secrets from the Tai Chu Pavilion. A cataclysm is imminent for the Nine Heavens, and without the power of an Immortal Emperor, its arrival will be inevitable. That’s why I have come to this Celestial Emperor Mountain, seeking the path to becoming an emperor!" Chu Qin answered.

"A cataclysm? It’s coming early?" exclaimed the Endless Empress in shock.

"You know about this cataclysm?" Chu Qin was slightly surprised.

The Endless Empress nodded, "Once, when discussing the Dao with the other Immortal Emperors, someone inadvertently calculated this cataclysm! At that time, everyone took it lightly, thinking it was merely a tribulation for Immortal Emperors, and so we didn’t pay it much attention. But now, with the successive passing of the Immortal Emperors and my abdication from the throne, unable to become an emperor for life, this cataclysm might truly overturn the Nine Heavens!"

"What exactly is this cataclysm? Could it also be the doing of the Heavenly Dao?" Chu Qin asked.

The Endless Empress shook her head, "I’m not entirely clear on the details. But, it’s unlikely to be the work of the Heavenly Dao. After all, the Heavenly Dao has already eliminated the threat of the Immortal Emperors, so there’s no need for it to completely eradicate everything else; that wouldn’t benefit it."

"From what you say, it seems to be a cataclysm from outside the Nine Heavens? Could it be the Blood Demon Fiend?" Chu Qin continued to ask.
